The ugliest goal of his career and an accurate header. Lionel Messi shone, this is how he helped Inter Miami win with two goals

Inter Miami is experiencing a successful start to the new MLS season after a controversial preparation. After three rounds, they have seven points and a big part of that is due to the best footballer in history, Lionel Messi. He also contributed to the victory against Orlando City.

Three games, two wins, one draw. That’s Inter Miami’s record so far in the new MLS season. A huge difference from how the David Beckham-owned side did last season, when they were the worst team in the competition.

Even Lionel Messi couldn’t get the team to make a big comeback and make the playoffs last season, but the fact is that he didn’t start all the games either. This year, he would definitely like to have a better season with his club. Moreover, with Luis Suárez joining his team after Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets.

In the very first MLS game this season, the best player in history flashed an assist against Salt Lake City. A week ago, he scored a goal in a 1-1 draw with the Los Angeles Galaxy.

He shone even more in the third round against Orlando City. It was clear that the eight Ballon d’Or winner was enjoying the match. He played some great football, entertained himself, entertained the crowd. He made it easier for Inter Miami to take the lead quickly.

Lionel Messi contributed two goals to the debacle

Luis Suárez opened the scoring in the fourth minute of the game against Orlando City. The Uruguayan striker also scored nine minutes later to make it 2-0. In the 29th minute, he crossed the ball into the box for Robert Taylor.

Suárez could have completed his hat-trick before the end of the first half, but the goal was disallowed for offside.

Then Lionel Messi came into his own, scoring perhaps the ugliest and easiest goal of his impressive career in the 57th minute.

The Argentine phenomenon added a second five minutes later when he scored an unconventional header after a successful centre from the boot of his teammate Suárez, with whom he also worked at Barcelona.

The score was 5:0 in Miami’s favour and there was nothing to solve. The chances of a draw were zero and Inter went on to win comfortably.
